My Project

My students are amazing and they LOVE plants. We have gotten to grow plants before but with the intermittent days off and poor lighting, we weren't super successful. This year my students will be able to pick their own seeds and take care of them until it is time to plant them outside! We are hoping to bring some sunshine to our building by planting flowers in our soon-to-be outdoor classroom spaces. They will also get to choose some vegetables to start for their own gardens. The lighting and watering systems will help my students understand what plants need in order to survive!
